Data formats in RecoMET

Newsbox
This topic will be replaced with Data format viewer, which will be generated from RecoMET_dataformats.py. Read more about the change at HN.

This topic shows the current data formats in RecoMET (from CMSSW_7_2_0). The past data formats are linked below.

PFMET (in RECO and AOD)
pfMet	reco::PFMETCollection	MET of all reconstructed particles with the particle flow algorithm
pfChMet	reco::PFMETCollection	MET of charged particles which are reconstructed with the particle flow algorithm whose corresponding track has the dz parameter with respect to the the main vertex smaller than 0.2 cm
GenMET (in RECO and AOD)
genMetTrue	reco::GenMETCollection	MET of all generated particles in simulation in their final states but excluding neutrinos, excited neutrinos, right-handed neutrinos, sneutrinos, neutralinos, gravitons, gravitinos
genMetCalo	reco::GenMETCollection	MET of all generated particles in simulation in their final states but excluding neutrinos, excited neutrinos, right-handed neutrinos, sneutrinos, neutralinos, gravitons, gravitinos and also muons
genMetCaloAndNonPrompt	reco::GenMETCollection	MET of all generated particles in simulation in their final states but excluding excited neutrinos, right-handed neutrinos, sneutrinos, neutralinos, gravitons, gravitinos and, additionally, excluding muons and neutrinos coming from the decay of gauge bosons and top quarks
CaloMET (in RECO and AOD)
caloMet	reco::CaloMETCollection	MET of all energy deposits in calorimeter towers in EB, EE, HB, HE, and HF
caloMetBE	reco::CaloMETCollection	MET of all energy deposits in calorimeter towers in EB, EE, HB, and HE
caloMetBEFO	reco::CaloMETCollection	MET of all energy deposits in calorimeter towers in EB, EE, HB, HE, HF, and HO
caloMetM	reco::CaloMETCollection	MET of all energy deposits in calorimeter towers in EB, EE, HB, HE, and HF with corrections for muons
MET associations (in RECO and AOD)
muonMETValueMapProducer, muCorrData	reco::MuonMETCorrectionData	information on how muons were used to correct MET and what associated MIP deposits are used
HCAL Noise (RECO and AOD)
hcalnoise	reco::HcalNoiseRBX
hcalnoise	HcalNoiseSummary
Beam Halo (RECO and AOD)
BeamHaloSummary	reco::BeamHaloSummary

NOTE: Each MET collection contains exactly one object.
